Background
Many students have to get to school for 8-9am will have to wake up at around 6-7am to get ready, have breakfast, and then get to school, but waking up this early reduces focus and then then concentration will be reduced is your first few lesson meaning you might not be taking in what’s said. Now if you could get to school later you wouldn’t have a big stress of haunt to rush around first thing in the morning you would have more time to get ready and then you would be more concentrated at school.
